I did a pants role once and walked on stage and did the standard
stereotypical pants role acting - you know, one foot up on a bench to show
that I'm butch :) - and suddenly the bench started to vibrate - audibly!!
Enough that other people on stage looked at the bench. I took my foot off
and it stopped shaking. It's happened a couple of times since and I just
tell myself (quickly so I don't dwell on it), "It's only going to do that for
a second and then it will be over."
Read Shirlee Emmons' and Alma Thomas' book Power Performance for Singers. I
cannot recommend this book highly enough!!!!
